‘Palestine, we are coming’

DBy Ahmad Al-Sarraf
ue to countless reasons, I can claim that I have been following the Palestinian cause for a very long time. This allows me to say that they have stood alone in the face of their enemies, which is why they will be victorious in their cause, provided they can deal with the other factor, which is bringing an end to their division and fragmentation. Dependence on brothers has been and still is an illusion.
Some people from my generation remember the Syrian actress and singer Siham Rafki, who was married to Salahuddin Al-Aseer. He withdrew all her recorded songs from the market before she died in Spain in 2007 at the age of 85 years.
Sihman has a famous song with a sentence — “O Palestine, we are coming to you; all of us are your men’ Men are around you to protect you, and to sacrifice with their soul and blood, maintain the glory of Arabism and destroy your enemies”.
Such repeated empty words and slogans; and after seven decades of disasters since 1948 when the weak Arab armies fought trained Jewish gangs in a highly combative spirit; but we were always losers, especially after being forced, time after time often under pressure from the brothers, to reject all solutions.
Of course, no one answered the call of sister Siham in liberating Palestine. Even the clerics, who sent tens of thousands of young people

He explained that the report of the committee will be finalized in September so that the responsible authorities can address the Olympic committees in preparation for submission to the parliament in the next session to vote on it. As of now, the response to a letter sent by the government to the International Olympic Committee regarding the sports laws that was sent has not yet been received but it is expected in the next coming phase.
Meanwhile, The Public Authority for Sport (PAS) on Saturday reiterated support to the financial capabilities of the Kuwaiti sports clubs in cooperation with all state institutions, so that they could achieve the goals of the investment law 30/2014, says KUNA. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry will issue the bylaw for the advertising and marketing companies included in the law, in line with a recent decision by the authority board, PAS Deputy Director General for Planning and Development Houssam Al-Saleh said in a press release.
The benefits of the sports clubs and federations from the decision on the regulation of investing in sports bodies, in effect since March 2015, look different, he said. Some regulations have achieved the aspired goals of the law, he explained. Others have not. to Afghanistan, Kosovo, Bosnia and Chechnya, and later to Iraq, and finally Syria, swallowed their tongues and even maintained silence instead of condemning the recent events, as though Jerusalem is not the bride of our Arabism, the first of the two Qiblas and the third of the two holy mosques.
The fact that many people do not want to admit is that the Palestinians have suffered not only from oppression and terror of the Israeli war machine and the media, but also from the oppression of many of their brotherly regimes.
Most of their Arab brothers contributed more than others to the division into sects, parties, fronts and organizations. Each are loyal to the party that pays them, while Palestine has been lost piece after piece, forgotten by the Arabs in the last few years. Its tragedy has become just a memory in the minds of very few people.
What the Palestinians are exposed to today is a tragedy, irrespective of their support to Iraq for the invasion of my homeland by Saddam Hussein. All the nations around the world have chosen, willingly or forcefully, to forget the Palestinian cause and ignore their deep sufferings.
It is time for the Palestinians to know that their homeland will be restored only through their own efforts and sacrifices. There is no power or any interest for any party for the return of rights to its legitimate people.

Resolutions
He noted that a number of clubs and federations have seriously and consciously responded to the investment resolutions, taking the necessary steps and measures for the application of the law. Other ones seemed to respond unseriously, thus missing a good opportunity to make benefits that could have boosted their finances, Al-Saleh said.
